The Emperor is Above

Chapter 119: Tu Shigu's Little Abacus

"Brother Shi Gu, are you going to move all your belongings to Guqiu?"

Qing Yi looked at Tun Shigu in surprise, and soon figured out the reason, "Could it be that the cat ghost is still watching the weapon you made?"

"Yeah, brother, you have to help me. I'm being targeted by the cat ghost now!"

Tu Shigu said angrily and helplessly, "Since we moved to Tuqiu, I thought nothing would happen again. After all, nothing has been lost in more than a month.

As a result, a few days ago, Ma Zhiyuan and other nobles came to me to order weapons and armor, so I asked my family to speed up the production of a batch of spears and halberds, after all, they are easy to make.

I didn't expect that just when we finished making this batch of weapons, they disappeared overnight. That night, I personally led people to monitor them at night, and watched helplessly as piles of spears and halberds disappeared out of thin air. "

Since the Cat Demon God wants to disrupt the capital, he will definitely not let go of Tu Shigu, who is good at making armor and weapons, easily. If he still makes armor and weapons in Tuqiu, they will inevitably be stolen by the Cat Demon God.

Qing Yi hesitated for a moment, and said very seriously: "Brother Shi Gu, I am naturally delighted that you can personally sit in Guqiu to process armor and make weapons, and I welcome you very much.

But you have just moved to the Tuqiu burial mound, and you can't move all your family, servants, and subjects here, right? If you leave them in the burial mound, I'm worried that the cat ghost will take it out on them."

"Hey, brother, do you think that if anyone moves the burial mound like you do, they can take all the people in Huaiqiu away with them?"

Tu Shigu said with a helpless and envious look on his face, "I also heard about what happened in Huaiqiu at that time. Our entire Maoqiu Pavilion was shaken.

You were granted a fiefdom on a solitary hill beside the Jiming Lake, yet you were able to convince the entire Huaiqiu nation to follow you and migrate here wholeheartedly.

Later I heard from Mr. Bai Liang that Kou Rui was nearly pissed off by you and had to lie in bed for more than a month before he could sit up. His son Kou Qiang also had a serious illness and stayed at home for half a month before going out.

After my brother was awarded the rank of corporal and a title, I don't know how many benefits he promised to the surrounding neighbors and villagers, but in total, more than a hundred people followed me to migrate to Tunqiu and become my subjects.

Now, all the people in my fiefdom, including my family, craftsmen, servants, and subjects, add up to less than 200 people. The construction of the fiefdom and the house was completed by hiring talents from the Xiema Pavilion."

Qing Yi nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "Less than 200 people is indeed not a lot, and Guqiu can easily accommodate them. But Brother Shigu, if you move your whole family here, your house and farmland will be left unattended and I'm afraid they will suffer a lot of damage."

"Hehe, this year when my brother was conferred the title, the spring ploughing season had already passed, so the farmland was only slightly leveled, and there was no cultivation or sowing, so there was no need to worry about it at all."

Tu Shigu was not at all embarrassed at this moment, but was slightly proud.

"As for the house, it doesn't matter. As long as everyone is safe, we can spend money to build it later. My brother's family doesn't lack money."

Looking at the nouveau riche Tu Shigu, Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Since this corporal of the other party has been granted a title and has made up his mind to move to Guqiu, his family will certainly not have any objection. Having such a master of armor personally making weapons and armor for their family is something that cannot be found even with much money.

However, he still couldn't help asking, "Brother Shi Gu, although no one worships cat ghosts and gods in my Guqiu Fengtu, it is close to Jiming Lake after all.

There are groups of strange beasts and fierce birds everywhere. If the people of the Great Marsh come to plunder during the autumn harvest, there will be no one to help. Why do you insist that running to me will be safe?"

Tu Shigu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, brother, you have no choice but to be forced by the cat ghost.

I was actually a little nervous before coming here, but now I am convinced that I am absolutely right. Only by staying with you, my brother, can I avoid this disaster.

In just two months, brother, you have trained a group of ninth-grade warriors. They are also protected by exotic beasts and ferocious birds such as civet cats, little foxes, and big roosters. At least they should have no problem protecting themselves.

Maybe I can take advantage of the cat ghost to encourage the wild people in the Great Lake to plunder various places in the capital, and I can follow you to get some military merits, so that I can at least give an explanation to the king. "

Qing Yi couldn't help but look at Tun Shigu with admiration at this moment.

In the past, this brother had always been timid, but he would not have thought that he would come to him at the critical moment regardless of danger, and he would be able to make up his mind to move his family to Guqiu. After thinking for a while, Qing Yi patted Tu Shigu's shoulder and comforted him: "Since you have made up your mind, I will personally lead the team to go back to Tuqiu with you tomorrow. Now go to bed quickly."

After arranging accommodation for Tun Shigu, Qing Yi himself couldn't fall asleep. He kept analyzing the current situation in his mind. He closed his eyes unconsciously, and it felt like dawn had arrived soon.

"Bo, long time no see. I missed you so much."

"Sister Jiang looks good recently. You are even more beautiful than when you were in the capital."

From the yard came the voices of Tun Shigu greeting Bo Ai and Jiang Ji. It was obvious that the old man did not get enough rest last night and got up early to wait.

As soon as Qing Yi walked out of the room, Tu Shigu came up to him impatiently: "Brother, I have packed everything here, when do you think we should leave?"

"Brother Shigu, you have to wait until everyone has finished breakfast. There's no need to be so anxious." Qing Yi comforted Tuan Shigu with a smile, and instructed Gongsun Wu to allocate more manpower.

"Hey, no hurry, no hurry, I'm just asking casually!"

Tu Shigu smiled, looked around and praised.

"As expected of you, brother. I feel like the air in Guqiu is fresher than other places. I feel much more energetic here. I even slept very well last night."

Now the entire hill is planted with star spirit grass, and a faint spiritual energy is floating in the village. Naturally, Tun Shigu feels particularly comfortable.

Qing Yi led him to the restaurant and replied with a smile: "There is a reason for this, you will know it in the future."

Master Tuan scratched his head, but was too embarrassed to ask, so he had to follow him to the restaurant.

Breakfast was corn porridge cooked with bone soup made from ninth-grade crocodile bones. Tuan Shigu praised again and again: "Brother, the soil and water in your family's burial ground are really good. The corn porridge cooked with it is really delicious."

After breakfast, Gongsun Wu had gathered fifteen private soldiers and fifty militiamen to wait in the yard. Tun Shigu's eyes lit up as he looked at this powerful team.

Seeing that some militiamen were still driving horse-drawn carriages, Tu Shigu hurriedly said, "Brother, we don't need to bring any carriages when we go to my house. We have plenty of carriages and carts. We can just set off directly!"

Gongsun Wu nodded to Qing Yi and said, "My Lord, if we don't bring carriages and horses, we can travel 50 miles of wilderness in just half a day."

Qing Yi thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's just carry our weapons and bows and arrows and set off now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire team couldn't wait to walk out. The fifteen private soldiers were all ninth-grade strongmen, so their marching speed would naturally not be too slow.

Even the fifty militiamen were mostly of high-level body-building strength, and only a few of mid-level body-building could keep up with the speed, which made it difficult for the Tuan family to chase them all the way.

"Brother, wait for me——"

Although Tun Shigu was a ninth-grade strongman, he was not used to such a speed of travel and could only jog after Qing Yi. As soon as he walked out of the solitary hill, he was accidentally tripped by grass and vines.

"Chi chi chi chi——"

In the grass nearby, a group of strange little chicks the size of a fist were startled, and then attracted by the grass seeds scattered around him, running over to scramble for the food.

"Wow, brother, even your chicks are different from others!" Before Tun Shigu could even get up, he was attracted by this group of strange-looking chicks. These inconspicuous little things could actually peck stones into pieces.
